Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 716 - 707: Calling for Help

"Yes, quickly send out a distress message!"

"This Beast Tide assaulting the city is terrifyingly large, unprecedented. Everyone quickly retreat back to Black Evil City, take turns in defense, and do not let the Monster Beasts breach the city!"

Soon, many people reached a consensus, retreating while fighting, and before long, a large number of Cultivators had returned to Black Evil City.

"Formation!"

A figure soared into the sky; this was an Immortal Realm Great Power from an Ancient Family.

After he shouted loudly, a vast expanse of Immortal Light surged into the sky from the walls around Black Evil City and eventually formed some sort of City Protection Array.

"This is the Haotian Array of my Xiao Family, but I fear it cannot be maintained for long. Quickly, let someone enter the Ancient Immortal Domain and send out a distress message."

The Xiao Family Great Power’s complexion turned somewhat pale. As soon as the Monster Beasts began their attack, he had anticipated that it would be difficult to break out, so while others were fighting, he had secretly prepared the Array early on.

But this Array was only a temporary measure, not a long-term plan!

"Daoist Fellow Xiao has worked hard. Setting up this Array must have consumed a lot of Spiritual Power. You should quickly meditate to restore your Spiritual Power. We must strengthen the Array’s defense before the Monster Beasts break through," another Immortal Realm Great Power spoke up.

Hearing this, the Xiao Family Great Power nodded slightly; his complexion was a bit pale, clearly having expended a lot of Spiritual Power.

Soon, under the arrangement of several other Immortal Realm Great Powers, many people sent their Divine Thoughts into the Ancient Immortal Domain, intending to release the news of this place.

"Do not let the Beast Tide continuously attack the Great Powers. Split some people to go out of the city and block the Monster Beasts. Once their Spiritual Power is exhausted, retreat back to the city for meditation and switch with another group," an Immortal Realm Great Power proposed.

Very quickly, many volunteered to go out of the city to fight. The collective gathered in Black Evil City were already a formidable group, not to be frightened by the current scene.

Moreover, with the Great Formation present, if all else failed, they could immediately retreat back to the city.

And in such battles, lies the quickest way to enhance one’s strength!

"Should I go?"

In the city, Zhang Hao held the Spiritless Sword, which was already covered with fresh blood from the recent battle.

At this moment, Zhang Hao could faintly feel the sword in his hand trembling slightly, as if calling him out of the city, only through killing could the Spiritless Sword quickly regenerate its Sword Spirit!

"Of course, I should go." Mo Wangchen’s breath became slightly tense; he had fought like a madman against the Monster Beasts earlier and had consumed a lot of Spiritual Power.

His white robe was now dyed blood-red. Originally, he had already reached the fourth peak of the Emperor Realm. Now, he could use this battle as an opportunity to attempt to break through to the fifth level of the Emperor Realm!

"Take this with you."

He took out a small Jade Bottle and handed it to Zhang Hao.

This was a bottle of Divine Spring, which Zhang Hao had already experienced the benefits of during the Canglan era.

"Be careful yourself, and if it really doesn’t work out, then retreat back here."

After giving Zhang Hao this reminder again, Mo Wangchen no longer paid attention to the others; his Divine King Body exploded with power, and in a blink, he dashed toward the slight opening in the Great Formation outside.

"First clear out those Monster Beasts attacking the Formation around it!"

Just after stepping out of Black Evil City, Mo Wangchen heard someone shouting this command.

At this moment, outside the city, half of the forces had already charged out, all fiercely engaged in battle. Tonight, who knows how many would die.

"Kill!"

Mo Wangchen bellowed deeply and charged toward a group of Monster Beasts attacking the Great Formation nearby.

"Boom!"

His fist exploded like ten thousand great mountains ferociously slamming down, seemingly about to crush the void itself.

Without any surprise, after Mo Wangchen’s punch, a swath of Monster Beasts perished, instantly smashed into pulp.

"Who is that person?"

"Such tremendous power of body, just one punch and he annihilated over a hundred Monster Beasts!"

In the city, half of the troops were on standby; they did not rush out immediately but waited for the first batch to expend their efforts and retreat before they would march out to battle the Monster Beasts.

Therefore, at this moment, these people were mostly focused on the battle outside, and someone noticed Mo Wangchen.

"Isn’t that an attack from an Immortal Realm Great Power? This young man possesses such strength in his body, could he be one of the Young Kings from the Ancient Clans?"

"He doesn’t carry the aura of the Ancient Clans, he must be a genius with a special physique from our Human Clan!"

Everyone was discussing fervently, their attention fully concentrated on Mo Wangchen.

But the scene was too chaotic. Just outside the city, there were almost a million Cultivators, coupled with a dense crowd of Monster Beasts, soon Mo Wangchen’s figure was drowned in the midst of it, unable to be located.

"The second batch, march out!"

About an hour later, in Black Evil City, an Immortal Realm Great Power issued commands.

By now, many from the first batch who had marched out had already retreated back, while others had perished in the recent combat.

It was a sleepless night. As the slaughter continued, many had their eyes turned red with fury.

"There are six Immortal Realm Great Powers within the city, why aren’t you all marching out?"

It was unknown how much time had passed when someone finally spoke up, challenging the six figures standing atop the city tower.

"With the strength of you six, if you joined the battle, surely it would ease our side greatly. Are you afraid of death?" One person led the charge, and naturally, many others stood out.

Most of these were Cultivators who had just returned from battling outside the city.

"One of my senior brothers died in battle outside the city, he did not show a trace of fear even before his death, yet you, as Immortal Realm powerhouses, refuse to face the Monster Beasts. Isn’t that too unreasonable?"

Faced with the questioning, the six figures remained silent but soon, one of them spoke up.

He swept his gaze over those questioning eyes and said, "Do you think we six are merely watching the battle, afraid to go out because we fear death?"

"If it weren’t for us six constantly using Spiritual Power to maintain the Great Formation, this array would have been broken long ago, and by then, once the Monster Beasts swarm in, everyone would perish."

"Maintaining such a massive City Protection Array isn’t as easy as you think, even with us six joining hands, it’s still very strenuous!" another spoke up.

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.

Suddenly someone said, "It’s been several hours since this started, the news must have already shocked Central State, why haven’t we seen any reinforcements?"

"Exactly, Black Evil City is surrounded by several Ancient Cities that aren’t too far away, it should only take a few hours to arrive. Logically, the reinforcements should have arrived by now."

"Sacred Lands, Ancient Families, even the Ancient Kings’ Royal Family, many of their members are trapped here, why haven’t we seen their forces come to aid?"

"The reinforcements... are probably not coming..."

Just as everyone was questioning, suddenly someone in the crowd spoke up.

"Not coming?"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was shaken inside.

The speaker, one of those who had entered the Ancient Immortal Domain earlier, had an extremely grim expression, "An hour ago, I received news from the Ancient Immortal Domain that a Supreme Saint Master personally investigated the scale of this Monster Beast attack."

"This Beast Tide attacking Black Evil City is enormously large, a once in ten-thousand-year occurrence. The expanse of thousands of miles around is already covered by the Beast Tide, with such a number of Monster Beasts, no one dares come."

"I also received a notification from the Elder of my family. He told me to fend for myself and that our family wouldn’t send anyone because that would be akin to sending them to their deaths." A descendant from an Ancient Family spoke with a heart void of hope.
